You took your seat on the midnight train Said that you were never coming back again You don't want no restrictions but you want to be free You really don't know what you're trying to be You left all your dreams and your letter of lies Your minds on tomorrow as you said your goodbyes You're hoping and you're praying that your dreams will come true Put by something old get yourself something new No more goodbyes The world lies before you No more close ties Your destiny calls you You think that you're so smart that nothing can go wrong And that life is a tune of which you wrote the song It's all in your mind that it's not quite right As the midnight train carries on through the night Life is a race and its speed will increase You don't realise that your music has peace You lie on the floor broken dreams all around Searching for love that can never be found No more goodbyes The world lies before you No more close ties Your destiny calls you On the Midnight Train You took your seat on the midnight train Said that you were never coming back again You don't want no restrictions but you want to be free You really don't know what you're trying to be You left all your dreams and your letter of lies Your minds on tomorrow as you said your goodbyes You're hoping and you're praying that your dreams will come true Put by something old get yourself something new No more goodbyes The world lies before you No more close ties Your destiny calls you On the Midnight Train
